It’s obviously the Euro-spec model.
At the moment, the future of the Volkswagen Passat appears uncertain. The 2022 model-year will mark the end of the German sedan. However, in Europe, the automaker will continue to sell the Passat in both sedan and wagon forms for at most 12-24 months. The three-box model could be replaced with a new all electric model. However, the wagon will likely get a new generation .
The Passat’s popularity in the Europe’s declining non-premium D segment doesn’t mean it isn’t popular. It is still a popular car in Germany. Private and business clients love it for its practicality, good value and affordability.
Unrestricted sections on the country’s Autobahn allow all types of vehicles to be tested. With the Passat being such a common sight along the highway, it is no surprise that you will see one in the left lane. The family hauler in the video has a 1.5-liter engine.
With the 2019 facelift, the Passat got the 1.5 TSI unit. It seems to be balanced and fits in well with the Golf’s bigger brother. Although it’s not as torquey than the 2.0-liter TDIs, the Passat seems to have enough power with 150 horsepower (110 kilowatts). The video shows the driver achieving speeds of up to 90 mph (145 km/h) and higher. It even reaches a peak speed of 145 mph (253 kph).
